At 80, Michael Douglas Opens Up About Marrying Catherine Zeta-Jones

Michael Douglas had been married to one of the most beautiful women alive for nearly a quarter century. He had stood beside her at the Oscars and on red carpets and at the bedsides of sick children and through the particular hell of his own cancer treatment. And what he finally admitted, at 80, was that he had become the reason she was unhappy. Not through cruelty. Not through betrayal. Through something slower and more inevitable and in some ways worse than either of those things. He had gotten old, and she had not, and the gap between those two facts had grown into something neither of them knew how to close.
